Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 479

The room fell completely silent.

Truth be told, everyone there understood the reality-Victor's abilities were nothing short of remarkable.

In just a few short years, he'd propelled the Fitzgerald Group's assets into an entirely new league. Their own dividends had multiplied several times over-an achievement far beyond the reach of most.

Victor's jet-black eyes swept lazily across the gathering.

At last, his gaze came to rest on Virgil.

Under the man's piercing stare, Virgil's fists clenched at his sides, jaw tightening as he bowed his head.

Victor's lips curled into a faint, dismissive smirk. "Well, since no one has anything to add, I'll take it that everyone's satisfied with this year's annual report."

The moment his words landed, thunderous applause erupted throughout the conference room.

A beat later, Victor's tone leveled out, calm and unhurried. "Now, regarding my upcoming marriage to the head of the Vaughan Group, I've decided to transfer twenty percent of Fitzgerald Group's shares to Isadora."

The room exploded in shocked whispers.

Everyone exchanged stunned glances, unable to process the bombshell announcement.
